Amide α,β-Dehydrogenation Using Allyl-Palladium Catalysis and a Hindered Monodentate Anilide
摘要:
A practical and direct method for the alpha,beta-dehydrogenation of amides is reported using allyl-palladium catalysis. Critical to the success of this process was the synthesis and application of a novel lithium N-cyclohexyl anilide (LiCyan). The reaction conditions tolerate a wide variety of substrates, including those with acidic heteroatom nucleophiles.

carrying out the intramolecularSchmidtreaction of alkylazides and ketones using a substoichiometric amount of catalyst is reported. Following extensive screening, the use of the strong hydrogen-bond-donating solvent hexafluoro-2-propanol was found to be consistent with low catalyst loadings, which ranged from 2.5 mol % for favorable substrates to 25 mol % for more difficult cases.
